Here are pics of my cobalt TMA Original, light blue lining, gold hardware. The light was fading but hopefully you can see the gorgeous colour. I also snapped another pic of the IB Midi on my desk plus a modelling pic.

asbb - I haven't carried the cobalt yet but it is smaller than the IB Midi. It will be interesting to see how I get on with the three compartments. I'll snap a modelling pic of the cobalt and post in teh coming days. I let the handles out to their last setting so that they would go over my shoulder easily - the are thinner straps so don't slip and are quite comfy.
Bon, yes, that's exactly what i mean about getting on with the 3 compartments. Even with the IB Midi, when I don't have the laptop in, it's a matter of "which side is my wallet in" but then I figured out that my wallet is always on the side with the outside zipper pocket. No such luck with the TMA Midi - both sides are identical, lol. Same thing happens to me with my Hug Me though and I love that style.
.. I placed the tag on the side with my wallet and keys! Now I hope I at least can remember this..haha!
I got the IB large in Pewter for my DIL( she really brings along her laptop daily) but tried it first a couple of days at home. I for the very last time will have a bag with two zippers on the top! Even with the pocket to remember me where and what went in where, I'm far too disorganised with this type of bag. Within half a day, I had managed to stuff all my things in the compartment near the pocket incl a laptop, leaving the other empty!! LOL!!

That cobalt is a gorgeous color VanBod, that's a great new bag!
I have a wallet that zips all around and I have to remember to only open it with the zipper tab starting at the top or everything falls out, same as trying to remember where something is in a multiple sectioned bag is! Now to use this wallet in a multiple sectioned bag would just be too much to remember I think (for me).
Enjoy your new bag(s)! They're all really nice!
(ps- your work bathroom is nicer than my work's bathroom!

Herme - thanks. We had a refurb about 2 years ago, before that it was (ahem) very 70s! Of course, they forgot to connect the radiator so in the winter, it is like an icebox!
Merika - yay! I can't believe how much I love mine - really interested to hear what you think of the style!
